Other Details
Parental Guidance
Greek Mythology has several instances of mild violence, revenge stories, and having various lovers. I do tone it down for this age group, but these things play a large role in many myths.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been studying and learning about Greek Mythology since I was young. I don't have any formal training in it, but I would love to share what I have learned on my own with those who are interested. I spent 6 weeks in Greece visiting major myth landmarks and learning more about the stories in person.Reviews
